[wp-hackers] Plugins using post types with localization

[Diana K. Cury]

Thanks Heiko, (thanks also for Codestyling plugin, I love that!)

I tried the a) load the translation directly in front of constructor 
executions, and didn't work. Again, translation only in some parts. About 
b), not sure how that should be, but I wil try.

Also, I tried to use differente events from init for post types, with no 
sucess. Translation always work, but only for some parts :(

Maybe is better to merge the post type files into a single file?

function PETPostType() {
$this->labels = array(
'name' => __('Pets','ADA'),
'singular_name' => _x('Pet', 'post type singular name',
'ADA'),
'add_new' => __('Add Pet','ADA'),
'add_new_item' => __('Add Pet','ADA'),
'edit_item' => __('Edit Pet','ADA'),
'new_item' => __('New Pet','ADA'),
'view_item' => __('View Pets','ADA'),
'search_items' => __('Search Pets','ADA'),
'not_found' =>  __('Not Found!','ADA'),
'not_found_in_trash' => __('Nothing found in Trash','ADA'),
'parent_item_colon' => ''
);


add_action( 'init', 'adafunc_setup' );

function adafunc_setup(){
load_plugin_textdomain('ADA', null, dirname( plugin_basename( __FILE__ ) ) .
'/lang' );
}

You are loading your translation at the init hook processing but your
constructor for PETPostType executes before loading your translation file
inside the plugin class constructor. So any translation stands at english
while translation is missing.

You have 2 options:
a) load your translation directly in front of your constructor
executions. (not recommended)
b) hook into init hook execution, load the textdomain and 2nd define
now the posttype objects.

regards

Tried the priority and still no changes. Also, the metabox script never get
translated, I think some problem there.

I tried to move the
    $PETPostType = new PETPostType();
    $LOSTPostType = new LOSTPostType();
For their "respective" file, but no luck.
